Dr. Rafael Lorenzana
Dr. Lorenzana has been in practice since 1974. Until 1979, his dental office was dedicated to general practice with a special focus in Oral Surgery and Prosthodontics.
At the beginning of 1979, he went to the United States to pursue his training in Prosthodontics at The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, and later at The Medical University of South Carolina.
In 1982, Dr. Lorenzana was appointed as Assistant Professor at Baylor College of Dentistry, a position he held for six years. He achieved a second dental degree as a Doctor in Dental Surgery at Baylor College and opened a private practice of Prosthodontics for seven years in the prestigious Highland Park - Dallas area.
In the late 80’s, he obtained the most prestigious diploma from The American Board of Prothodontists, which makes him an expert in Prosthodontics in the United States of America.
Dr. Lorenzana’s research has been published in many well-recognized worldwide journals, and he has also participated as a speaker in different conferences worldwide regarding medical tourism.
In 1992, he decided to return to El Salvador and open his own dental facility, forming the now known Lorenzana & Dental Associates.
